Mt 2010 V6 when setting out in temperatures around 40 F hesitates starting before it finally starts. It's not a battery issues as it is cranking it just appears to not be getting fuel but then finally starts. It's worried me a couple of times but so far it's never failed to start. After I drive it several miles and the engine warms up it starts just fine.

Funny thing my 2005 V6 Tacoma did the same thing the last winter I had it but I never took it in for service since I traded before this winter.

I use 87 but I don't think thats a problem. I've had this happen once while I was getting ready to leave school. It was setting outside all day in 40-50* temps. Now that mention it, this could be the reason why.

Stick the key in the ignition and turn the key to the "run" position and wait a couple of seconds and then turn it farther to start and see if that helps. It has nothing to do with the octane rating of the fuel.

Exactly!

It's takes a second or two. I believe it's something to do with the fuel pump.

Good tip!

On my 2005 Tacoma I suspected the fuel pump but as it does it on the new Tacoma as well I thought I must be the common factor. ha. But it happens most when I am leaving work after it being parked 8 hours or so and I am probably trying to make a quick departure. I'll try turning the key on to run for a second or two tomorrow and then starting as it should be kind of cold as well then.
